Cascade Hop Tincture: A Natural Ally for Calm, Sleep, and Wellness
Cascade hops, best known for their role in craft brewing, also shine as a powerful herbal remedy. When prepared as a tincture, they offer gentle yet effective support for relaxation, digestion, and overall well-being.  
Benefits of Cascade Hop Tincture
- Promotes Restful Sleep – Hops have natural sedative properties that help reduce restlessness and support deeper sleep.  
- Eases Anxiety & Stress – The bitter acids and flavonoids in hops calm the nervous system, encouraging relaxation.  
- Supports Menopausal Comfort – Compounds like 8-prenylnaringenin act as phytoestrogens, which may ease hot flashes and mood swings.  
- Digestive Aid – Traditionally used to stimulate appetite and ease indigestion.  
- Anti-inflammatory & Antimicrobial – Bitter acids such as humulone and lupulone may help reduce inflammation and fight microbes.  
Common Uses
